By Tiffany Deluccia >>> I was on vacation all last week (I’ll try to share some pics from Charleston soon), and the Lord impressed some strong things on my heart. First and foremost this: Rest in not vacation. Rest is in His presence. If we look to things other than Him for our rest, we…

Burn to Memory is our special section focused on Scripture to memorize. Pin it, print it or make it your smartphone wallpaper. Why is memorizing Scripture so important? What’s in your heart comes out at the moments when it is needed. (And if what’s in there isn’t good, it’ll come out even when you don’t want it…

By Tiffany Deluccia >>> Learning to be a gracious woman. This verse arrested my heart a few weeks ago. Let’s memorize it together. I’ll share more thoughts tomorrow but I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below on what it means (or what it doesn’t mean) to be a gracious woman. What do…

By Tiffany Deluccia I wrote a blog post on this verse a few weeks ago, and I forgot to post the Burn to Memory image! In my opinion, that post is worth another look. (I certainly haven’t mastered simplicity since then!) Either way, enjoy this download from my friend Trista and let it remind you…

By Tiffany Deluccia I sometimes find myself believing in my heart of hearts that if I’m doing well and following God’s lead, that I should experience calm waters. The opposite is often true: The more you seek after God’s heart and His will, the more opposition you will face. It does no good to…

Simple enough, right? I love the straightforwardness of the Gospel. God can be trusted. So, don’t be anxious. What else do we need to know? This week, I’m letting this short verse weigh on my heart like it should. Nothing, absolutely nothing, should steal my peace; not hopes, not fears. God is that Good. He…

We sure don’t know what we don’t know. Do you ever find yourself worrying about the future, or taking a current circumstance and imagining it to a twisted completion in the distance? I find it’s easy to remember times when God was with me, but when it comes to the unknown, it’s easy to imagine…

“Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Who am I in secret? Behind the closed door? Am I someone who gets up early to pray, to seek the Lord first, because He alone sustains me? (Sometimes.) Am I someone who dreams crazy dreams and thinks she has an extra hour…

I’m meditating on Romans 12:2 this week. It’s my smartphone background, and I’m trying to make myself stop and really soak it up each time I open my phone. My mind needs renewing. I’ve felt distracted lately. Things are vying for my attention. Do you ever wonder about God’s will in a day-in-time kind…

This may seem like a strange verse to memorize, but if you’ve ever tried fasting, I would bet it hits home. For the last several years, my church held a 21-day fast at the beginning of January to pray for focus and direction for the new year. I always began strong and would find myself…

So, I’ve been a little absent for the last week or so… Christmas was lovely at my house, and I hope it was at yours, too. Today I’m getting the familiar stirring Jan. 1 brings – the rush of a new year, new expectations, new beginnings. Why is it easier to be full of hope…

Happy December! I’ve started the Christmas tunes. My tree is settling before decorating. (Note: If you buy a real tree, it must always settle for a few days before you decorate it. I know this from experience… The ornaments will weigh down the branches and then get stiff like that, making it look like…

UPDATE: So, this was the Burn to Memory verse back at the end of October, and the focus was on the “running the race with endurance” part. For this week, we’re focusing on the “since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses part.” Aaannnd, I just realized Trista had designed two separate mobile…
